@blueshark: Again: Have you patched the kernel for Atapi-SATA Support ?

Also: This here:
Sense Key: 0x3 Medium Error, Segment 0
Sense Code: 0x73 Qual 0x02 (power calibration area is full) Fru 0x0
Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid)
cmd finished after 0.004s timeout 60s
cdrecord-ProDVD: OPC failed ...

@blueshark: (Sorry overlooked your posting first): Please tell us, if you have patched your kernel to include ATAPI for SATA or if you still use the default-settings. If you have patched the kernel, you must change /dev/hdc to /dev/sr0, but I cannot tell you how to do this as I'm a kde, not gnome ...

@RBJ: Have you created the /dev/input/event interfaces ?

see the mknod-part here:
http://wiki.splitbrain.org/lifebook-2.6

Also: I would suggest you throw out the whole mx510-specific-part (especially dev name, dev phys, protocol evdev) and try it with "normal" mouse-settings... To make it the ...

@RBJ: Sorry, misunderstood you, the dpms-option is used for switching off the screen, but after a given time (see control-center in kde, there you can set the time). I'm currently not on my laptop but I think I've seen an option in kde-powermanagement "Action when lid is closed:" And you could set ...

@RBJ: But you have seen, that the touchpad in my file is not stated as Corepointer but as AlwaysCore ?
This made everything work here --> Try it out

OK, so far so good, now it's easier to see what's going on and I don't need an extra engine to turn my mouse-wheel ;)...

first a question: What happens (regarding your mouse) if you use my xorg.conf file ? Doesn't it work at all or are just your extra-7-Buttons not working ?

ACPI: No Idea where ...

Hi,
I'm no moderator but in this case I have to give a comment on posting....

@RBJ1128: Please edit your post and remove the complete xorg-part. As far as I can see it is almost exactly mine, so a pointer to www.topspritten.de/xorg.conf or saying "it's dschaus' xorg.conf" with the following changes ...

Hi,
still haven't found the time to check stuff but maybe today... But at least I hope I can help with some questions posted already...

@seppelrockt:
the settings for the touchpad were from the page mentioned by me before:
http://wiki.splitbrain.org/lifebook-2.6

I just tried them and they worked ...

@cytux: Maybe you overlooked this, at least the readme (or the link stating "you can also look here") looks very promising and easy ! Btw.: Thanks for the WLAN-LED-"Patch" !
EDIT2: Just stumbled over this page
http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/
It might help some people with the i915 graphics card ...

Hi VinzC,
great to hear that, I'm also quite sure that the "AlwaysCore" Option does alot !
I got the cursor-speed working nicely by setting the minspeed and maxspeed Options a bit higher, tuning the acceleration did nothing good to me, the cursor just became racing around so I wouldn't suggest ...

Well, I was so curious that I already tested it.

I've got everything to work as I needed it, but I'm sorry, I don't need gpm, so I can't tell you anything about that !
What is working now:
Touchpad is working as synaptics device, including scrolling
You can plug in an USB-mouse whenever you like to ...

Well that's strange... Have you tried building a kernel without udev (or let's say with /dev filesystem and automounting of /dev enabled in the kernel) ? As I said, my last try was without udev, so I can't tell whether or not the touchpad works with udev at all...

The only thing I can tell you, I ...

np, always trying to help ppl ;)

But I cannot help you with the i915 chipset, I have an ATI X300 in my Notebook, which is not making too much trouble though I cannot set VesaFB to WSXGA+ Resolutions in the console, but WXGA is sufficient there. In Xorg everything is working quite fine (though I had ...

Hi,
I've been reading here quite a while and now I finally found the time to register and write maybe a few hints

First of all I'd like to thank lancealtar for his great hint on the DVD-Drive, maybe it's worth to add the note, that you need to have SCSI-CDRom-Support activated in the kernel. This ...
